2. Learning Objectives
Understand the importance of sexually transmitted
infections (STIs) in gynaecology.
Describe the testing, diagnosis and transmission of
common STIs and blood-borne viruses (BBVs).
Understand that support is needed for patients to enable
them to undertake screening.

3. Learning Objectives
Appreciate that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
has changed from life limiting into a chronic, manageable
condition.
Learn how to take a sexual history.
Understand the diagnosis of and screening for HIV.
Describe the care for the HIV-positive mother and child.

4. Definition of Genitourinary Problems
Genitourinary diseases include congenital abnormalities,
iatrogenic injuries, and disorders such as cancer, trauma,
infection, and inflammation. These diseases often involve
or result in the loss of tissue structure or function.

5. An understanding of STIs and their complications is
crucially important in gynaecological practice. The subject
is frequently misunderstood and the impact on affected
women, their partners and at times their children may be
considerable.
STIs are often asymptomatic, but can still be transmitted to
others and cause significant problems at the time of
infection or in the future; for example, human
papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer.

6. STIs disproportionately affect younger people, but
increasingly they are identified in older people, in whom
the diagnosis is often not considered and so can be missed.
STIs often coexist and when one is found, screening for
others is required.
